Celebrating Terrence Malick
Wed Nov 20, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan
As the winter sets in Hyderabad, it's a perfect time to watch cinema in the evening as the sun sets quite early these days.
This month, Lamakaan presents the cinema of Terrence Malick, known for his philosophical theme films.
Terrence Frederick Malick (born November 30, 1943) is an American filmmaker. His films include Badlands (1973); Days of Heaven (1978); The Thin Red Line (1998), for which he received Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay Academy Award nominations and won the Golden Bear at the 49th Berlin International Film Festival; The New World (2005); The Tree of Life (2011), which garnered him another Best Director Oscar nomination and the Palme d'Or at the 64th Cannes Film Festival; and A Hidden Life (2019).
Malick began his career as part of the New Hollywood generation of filmmakers with Badlands, about a murderous couple on the run in 1950s American Midwest, and Days of Heaven, which details a love triangle between two laborers and a wealthy farmer during the First World War, before a lengthy hiatus. His films have explored transcendence, nature, and conflicts between reason and instinct. Broad philosophical and spiritual overtones and the use of meditative voice-overs from individual characters typically mark them. Malick's style has polarized scholars and audiences; many praise his films for their lavish cinematography and aesthetics, but others fault them for lacking plot and character development. His work has nonetheless ranked highly in retrospective decade-end and all-time polls.
